Do you think gas prices are going to raise again?

Question

I dont know for how long we are going to live with this unbeleivable gas price changes................

Answer 1

Yes they are going to raise because the oil is running out and people say gas will hit $3.00 and more wit hall these cars poluting its going to cost them

Answer 2

probably until the united states stop going to other countries for gas...

and use our own.

Answer 3

I think gas prices are going to raise until there is no more gas to sell.

Answer 4

You better believe they are.  Why should they go down.  The oil companies and the oil producers know they have us by the balls and we can't do anything abut it.  Our elected people in Washington DC have stocks in the oil industries.  Believe me... every time the price goes up, they make more money.  Why should they change it.  

The worst part is that the American People don't do anything about it.  We just let it happen.  If we did do something about it we would be protesting, lobbying against the high prices and demand our Congressmen, President etc. would do something about it.  Do you see it happening?  No you don't.  It's the same with the Pharmaceutical Industries (Drug Companies)  Why are price so high to see Dr's, buy drugs, have tests run at the hospital etc.  Did you know you could go to Cuba and buy the exact same drug there for  pennies on the dollar compared to what you pay here.  Canada, England and other country's are like that.  Not here in the United States.  Well that's what I have to say.  Take it or leave it.  That's my opinion.

Answer 5

there deff not gonna go down

Answer 6

yup...i'm moving to saudi arabia

Answer 7

Gasoline is projected to reach $5.00 a gallon in the near future. Some say that if we do more domestic drilling it will help but history shows that prices are more inclined to rise than decrease.  Also, increasing demand has a lot to do with it to so if people start using less, perhaps the price will go down some.

Answer 8

maybe i mean im a kid so i dnt drive lol

Answer 9

Yeah they're definitely going up. Supposedly they'll be up to 5 by the end of the year.

Answer 10

most likely

Answer 11

It is easy supply and demand.  Supply is somewhat limited and demand will continue to grow so prices will always increase.  20 years from know we will think back remember when gass was cheap at $4.  I think it will come down in price in the short term because there is some speculation in the price right now.  As American we need to adjust our life styles to decrease our demand on foriegn oil.  Sometimes we need to be slapped in the face before we will make a change so I see high prices as a good and bad thing.

Answer 12

This seems to be the pattern of the past five years....

Step 1.  Raise gas until peope cut back consumption.  This way they find where the level is at that people will pay.

Step 2.  Cut prices, but not to the original level.  This induces people to feel good about gas prices (even though they're still higher than before Step 1) and ramp up their consumption, and continue to buy gas-hog vehicles.

Step 3.  Raise prices, even higher than in Step 1.

Step 4.  Repeat Step 2,. etc., etc.

Gas will come down a little.  We'll feel a little relief.  We'll relax our conservation efforts, buy more, put up with $5/gallon gas next time.

I'm not saying this is evil or a consipacy either, it's just the free market system.  Eventually gas will get high enough to where it is profitable to develop and use other alternatives, but we're not there yet.
